Lodging Details
The Lodge at Eagle Rock is an impressive, newly renovated, 8,000 square-foot historic inn combining a magnificent setting, rustic elegance, and high-end amenities. The Lodge was designed using local, antique, and natural materials to provide a sense of history and harmony with the area. From the 100-year-old barn wood floors to the hammered copper back-splash behind the bar, to the river-rock fireplace in the Great Room, the Lodge feels like Montana. It is an ideal destination for large groups seeking a private lodge experience. Every room features two full beds, travertine-tiled bathrooms, flat-screen televisions, and wireless internet. The Lodge offers a full bar that is the perfect place to relax after a long day of fishing. After dinner, you can also relax in front of the river-rock fireplace or take advantage of the Lodge’s small business center with computers, satellite internet, printers, scanners, and fax.

Food and Beverages
The Lodge at Eagle Rock prepares the finest in Montana cuisine with mostly locally-raised meats and vegetables. The Lodge has a full kitchen and dining room where you will enjoy a cooked-to-order breakfast each morning. Streamside lunches include creative sandwiches, homemade pastries, fresh fruit, salads, and more. For dinner, the Lodge offers four-course gourmet fare from a classically trained chef.

Non-Angling Activities and Options
The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center in Great Falls provides an ideal view of terrain similar to what the Corps of Discovery encountered along their portage of the Great Falls of the Missouri River. You can also visit the Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art in Great Falls. This beautiful building with its ornate interior was originally built in 1895 and is designated as a National Historic Landmark. Great Falls was also the home of the famed cowboy artist Charlie Russell, whose original home and log studio are now part of the C.M. Russell Museum, one of our nation’s greatest collections of Western art.

Internet / Communications
There is Wi-Fi access at the lodge. Cell phones work in the area, but reception may be a little spotty near the lodge depending on your provider.

General Information
The Missouri River below Holter Dam near the town of Craig, Montana is a classic “tailwater” fishery. Cool temperatures and steady water flows, combined with prolific insect life, provide an ideal environment for trophy trout. Because of these factors, the Missouri River has some of the highest fish counts of any trout stream in the country. For guests staying at the Lodge at Eagle Rock, the Missouri River below the Holter dam will be the primary fishery.

MISSOURI RIVER SEASONS

March – April
If you enjoy solitude on the water, then this is the time to consider visiting the Missouri. With little pressure, aggressive trout will be predominately feeding on midges and blue-winged olives. If there are overcast skies you can almost count on rising fish for hours each day.

Late May – June
Since the Missouri is a tailwater, conditions are never as bad or as dirty as with other area rivers, and the food of choice for trout on the Missouri will be PMD mayflies and caddis. The mayflies will be out during the morning and into mid-day, with caddis mostly in the evenings.

July – August
The middle of the summer will provide great weather and great dry fly fishing. Tricos, caddis, and hoppers will bring fish to the top, with streamer fishing providing action for larger fish in the lower sections of the river. If you are looking for a great dry fly challenge, hit the river early in the morning for the trico hatch.

September – October
The fall season brings cooler fall temperatures and shorter days. However, this is one of the best months to fish the Missouri, with pseudocleons, blue-winged olives, and midges providing solid top-water action. Caddis and hoppers will also bring fish up, and don’t forget to try big, ugly streamers down low on the river towards Cascade.
